Our Story

Bullpup Music Booster, Inc. was born out of a shared passion for music, education, and community. In March 2025, parents of Martinez Junior High School music students faced an unfortunate reality—there was no available funding to send the talented young musicians to the annual Forum Music Festival, an event where their award-winning group had proudly performed in the past. Determined not to let financial barriers silence their children’s opportunity to shine, these parents came together to create the Bullpup Music Booster, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the Martinez Junior High School Music Program.

At the heart of Bullpup Music Booster, Inc. is a deep appreciation for the connection between music and learning. Music is more than an art form—it strengthens academic performance, particularly in math. The patterns, rhythms, and structures in music mirror mathematical concepts, helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By fostering music education, we are shaping well-rounded students who excel in various subjects, build confidence and discipline, develop teamwork and creativity skills, and become more engaged members of their community. 

Bullpup Music Booster, Inc. is more than a nonprofit—it is a movement fueled by parents, educators, businesses, and community members who recognize the irreplaceable value of music education. Join us as we continue to champion the arts, one note at a time. 🎶
